You may want to use wd40 or something to make it a little easier. With the shaft in the vise, you can drive the old race off the shaft and the new one on in the same place. You have to keep in mind it’s a collapsible column so mark where it is. Once the column is removed from the car, remove the switch from the column and pull the shaft out. We are going to do a YouTube video showing the install soon, but as for now, here are some notes: We are happy to help if at all possible**** is pretty self explanatory. If you have any questions pertaining to the install, please contact us. Also, you must keep in mind that most technicians, regardless of experience, have not restored a MK1 steering column.
